Impossible to add repo and install mullvad on fedora 41

[Threetimers]

Is it a bug?

• I know this is an issue with the app, and contacting Mullvad support is not relevant.

I have checked if others have reported this already

• I have checked the issue tracker to see if others have reported similar issues.

Current Behavior

I can't install mullvad on fedora 41, that's what I'm getting:

I'm experiencing this too on Fedora 41.

[michu990]

Same error on Debian 12.

[zackkrida]

Same issue with fedora 41.

[promofu]

similar symptoms here but for ubuntu 24

[ddm90]

Same in Ubuntu 24.04

[jumpinjellybeans]

Same with Zorin OS 17.2 Pro

[lowdewijk]

Same. I found the server does respond to the keyring.asc request, but just very very slowly. I am fairly sure this has nothing to do with the OS I am on.

Mullvad support told me:

You can download the Mullvad VPN app from GitHub:

https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/releases/tag/2025.4

Then navigate to your Downloads folder in the Terminal and install it
with one of these commands:

UBUNTU/DEBIAN:

sudo apt install ./MullvadVPN-2025.4_amd64.deb

FEDORA:

sudo dnf install ./MullvadVPN-2025.4_x86_64.rpm
